For a long time, the presidency had got it wrong allowing state governors to mingle, inter-mingle and co-mingle with this constitutional function of the President. This is dangerous!

This will enable the President to choose the right kind of men and women to serve at the federal level instead of taking stooges and errand boys of this but solely the business of the President unless he suggests that a governor does that for him.
